Former professional motorcycle racer Steve 'Stavros' Parrish appeared at Saffron Screen for the final show of his tour.
Steve's M.A.D Tour stands for 'My Adolescent Dad', as the show was originally hosted by his long-suffering daughter Frankie - a role latterly taken over by his wife Michelle.
The show - which is at the end of a 10-year run - tells the colourful and funny story of Steve's career as both a motorcycle and truck racer.
It is described as "a hilarious, colourful and, at times daring, portrayal of his fascinating career".
During his career his pranks became almost more noteworthy than his riding achievements, alongside his great friend Barry Sheene.
The sold-out event, which took place on Friday, February 17, marked the first time independent community cinema Saffron Screen has put on a live show.
Steve's final show was organised by Walden Bikers member Stephen Jackson, who persuaded Steve to do one last performance in aid of Essex and Herts Air Ambulance.

At the end of the evening, Steve presented a cheque for £500 to Kate Butcher from Essex and Herts Air Ambulance on behalf of Walden Bikers. This brings the total raised by Walden Bikers to date to well over £30,000.
Steve, who lives in Royston, retired from racing in 2002 at the age of 47, and since then has worked as both a motorsport television commentator and a speaker/entertainer.
His highest finish during his motorcycling career came in the 1977 500cc Grand Prix season - with Barry Sheene ultimately crowned champion.
Barry is quoted as saying: "If he was to set up his bike as well as his victims and had put as much effort into the bike as he did the intricate pranks he pulled on people he would certainly have been a World Champion."
After moving on to truck racing - because it was "less painful" than riding bikes - Steve won five European truck racing titles.
Saffron Screen is an independent community cinema in Saffron Walden, which shows a range of independent, Hollywood blockbuster and family movies.
